STANTON, Elizabeth Cady. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). New York, 19 
Feb. [1898 or 1899]. A two-page SIGNED letter on both sides of plain 
stationery written in Stanton's large handwriting thanking "Mrs. Lord" 
for "helping me to push the sale of my Book EIGHTY YEARS & MORE." 
Stanton suggests, "Perhaps your brother Thomas would take several copies 
to distribute among impecunious relatives & Richard Hullnell(?) might do 
the same. It would do no harm to suggest it as my sons are the 
publishers. all the financial profits come to me & as my income is very 
limited I appreciate all such favors from my friends." Stanton's 
autobiography, EIGHTY YEARS & MORE: REMINISCENCES 1815-1897, was 
published in 1898. Usual folds from mailing, otherwise about Fine. 
(#016172)        $2,500.00
